WithJohn Wick: Chapter 2now in theaters, I recently got to sit down withIan McShanefor an exclusive video interview. As a big fan of his work, it was really cool to get to have an extended conversation about a wide variety of topics. He talked about making bothJohn WickandJohn Wick: Chapter 2, the way he likes to work on set, what’s great about the sequel and theJohn Wickuniverse, if he wanted to be in the action scenes, and so much more. In addition, I used some of my time to talk about some of his previous projects likeGame of Thrones,Hot Rod,Space 1999, and his upcoming Starz seriesAmerican Godsand why he wanted to be part of it.
For fans of the firstJohn Wickthat are wondering if the sequel is any good, I’m happy to report it is fantastic. It opens with an insane action set piece and never stops. I don’t know how any person that paid for a full-price ticket could walk out and say they didn’t get their money’s worth. I’ve seen it three times already — trust me, it’s awesome.
For those unfamiliar with the sequel,Keanu Reevesface-off against a whole new host of friends, villains, and colleagues, played by the likes ofCommon,Ruby Rose,Laurence FishburneandRiccardo Scamarcio, amongst others. The movie also sees the return ofIan McShane,John Leguizamo, Bridget Moynihan, andLance Reddick.
Check out what Ian McShane had to say in the video above and below is the official synopsis and recent trailer.
